Act of Jealousy.

His head ached and there was a metallic taste lingering on his tongue. He could feel the nights cool wind against his face and when he opened his eyes, he found a familiar face staring down at him, a grin plastered on his lips that were coated with blood.

"Have I ever told you, you taste delicious?"

He groaned at the accent of his former friend, at least he thought was his friend. His memory was a bit foggy as he reached up and touched his neck where an evident bite mark was. He closed his eyes and tried to remember what happened. There was nothing and he figured maybe he knew.

"What did you do, Kol?" He reopened his eyes and looked at his smiling ex-friend.

"Nothing too major. You were in shock or something.. so I erased what happened." Kol stood up and glanced around as if everything was interesting to him.

"Shock?.. What does that mean and what happened?" He sat up, his vision was a bit blurry still but he could see a few lights flickering on several bodies lit with fire ten feet away from him, blood was splattered against the asphalt pavement. A few cars were totaled and some windows in the apartment buildings were smashed, the glass glinted in the dark grass.

He looked back up at Kol who looked down at him again. Kol licked his lips and leaned down, "You should get up, Jeremy, cops should be here soon and I don't feel like killing anyone anymore. Bored with it.." He grabbed Jeremy's arm and pulled him to his feet.

A wave of nausea swept through his body, he inhaled air and tried to steady himself. Kol grabbed his shoulders, pulling him into his body to keep him upright. "There, there. Everything is alright, no need for vomit." Kol still held his pesky amused tone, Jeremy didn't even want to look up to see the grin that would still be on his face.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Jeremy asked, moving away from Kol, they both walked down the street towards an alley to hide from any suspecting eyes.

"Nope," Kol said, tucking his hands in his pockets.

Jeremy reached for the wound on his head, it was still painful but when he felt along his skin, the wound was healed. He glanced at Kol who wasn't looking at him.

"Why did you bite me?"

Kol shrugged, "You got hurt real bad so I healed you."

"By.. biting me? I can taste your blood in my mouth.." Jeremy sighed, feeling tense, "Kol. Why did you bite me and why can't I remember anything? What did y-" Before he could say anything, he was suddenly in the dark alley, his body trembled at Kol's enhanced speed, and was shoved against the dark wall.

Kol groaned, he took a few steps away from Jeremy before turning back to him. "Why must you mortals ask so many damn questions? Why does it matter to you? You're alive and everything is okay. You don't need to remember what happened, so forget it." Kol turned his gaze away at the last second, he was careful not to compel Jeremy again. Saying the wrong words might do disastrous things.

Jeremy grit his teeth, he and everyone knew Kol was an impulsive, aggressive vain vampire. But the way he's acting now, on edge about something. Nervous even. It was rather curious to see him like this and that curiosity only grew inside Jeremy' mind, he wanted to know what happened. Why did Kol bite him, heal him and do all that damage. Why did he kill those people? Who were those people? Humans or vampires?

Kol clicked his tongue, "Asking all those questions inside your head is going to give you a headache, Jer. Might want to stop that." His voice laced with aggression, he felt the need to erase Jeremy's entire curiosity of what happened from his mind, just so Jeremy didn't have to look at him like he was the enemy.

Jeremy's gaze turned into a glare, the hostility he was feeling grew and the moment he stepped away from Kol, only broke Kol's patience. He sighed, defeated and annoyed, he moved to Jeremy's side and pushed him against the wall. Gently for a human, if he actually pushed him, Jeremy's bones would've snapped and Kol didn't need that.

He pressed his hand to the side of Jeremy's head, his body leaning centimeters close to Jeremy. Kol could feel the warmth of Jeremy's body, hear the rapid pace of his beating heart. The blood he tasted minutes ago lingered in his mouth and he wanted more.

Jeremy would be pissed if he didn't tell him what happened, but then again, if he compels him, Jeremy will never know. Kol sighed, if he did that, nothing will happen until someone else enters his life. That was something else he didn't want.

"I .. was jealous.." It sounded pathetic as the words left his mouth and he watched Jeremy's expressions change in seconds, hostility to confusion to realization to confusion all over again.

"That doesn't answer any of my questions.." Jeremy finally said.

Kol rolled his eyes, "Figure it out, love."

Jeremy glanced towards the entrance from where they came from and looked back at Kol. "You said you were jealous.. One of those people liked me.. and you killed them.. but there's more bodies, meaning that person brought others and one of them attacked me enough to actually kill me.. you gave me your blood. Doesn't explain why you bit me."

Kol smiled wide, enjoying Jeremy's deductive skills. "Almost got it, mate. Here's the real story. You were on a date, Vanessa ring a bell?" He asked and Jeremy furrowed his brows at the name, Kol nodded, "Yeah, that's what I thought. I erased her from your head, you met her today at The Grill and I watched as you two flirted with each other. I wanted to kill her the moment she set her eyes on you. I followed the both of you after your shift was over, and she took a rather sickening kiss at you," Kol used his free hand and grabbed at Jeremy's arm, displaying his irritation at the image. Jeremy tried moving away but Kol kept him still.

"I ripped her away from you and lets just say her head cracked against the pavement." Kol scrunched his face up and let out a soft chuckle, something Jeremy didn't enjoy hearing. "You were a bit pissed at me, but like I said, I erased her from your memory and lets just say her blood brought a lot of newborn vampires to our position. You didn't have your vampire hunter toys with you.. so I told you to run, but a vampire blocked your way while I killed his friends and he bit you.." Kol trailed his hand up Jeremy's arm to his neck where the wound had healed. He smoothed his thumb against Jeremy's skin, relishing in the vein that pumped warm blood, blood he distinctly remembered was inside his mouth.

Kol swallowed thickly, moving his hand away from Jeremy's neck. "Second time I had to pull someone off you, unfortunately you fell and hit your head on the concrete like Vanessa did. I thought you were dead and to be honest, I don't want that. So I gave you some of my blood to heal you.. at the same time I couldn't help myself.. I took a nip and .. it was delicious." Kol licked his lips, his teeth throbbed and his mouth watered at the thought of Jeremy's warm blood inside his mouth.

Jeremy clenched his teeth, he noticed Kol's eyes turning into a blood red, dark veins appeared and his fangs were coming out. He tried moving again, but Kol didn't let him.

"I'm a predatory species, Jeremy," Kol said, he leaned his entire body into Jeremy's, their foreheads touched against each others. "And when I see something that belongs to me, it's mine. In this case, you're mine and I don't want anyone else touching you like Vanessa did," Kol growled her name, "Nor you reacting the same way. Do you understand me?"

Jeremy swallowed nervously, he couldn't look away, "K-Kol.." He didn't even know what to say. He didn't belong to him, not to a vampire. They didn't even like each other and all of a sudden he's staking a claim on him. "I don't belong to.. anyone.."

Kol grinned, "Exactly, you're mine." Before Jeremy could protest, Kol turned his head to the side and roughly kissed him. Kol groaned at the warmth of his lips, he felt Jeremy's hands on his shoulders, trying to push him away, but Kol grabbed Jeremy's hands and pinned them to the wall and pulled back.

"Are you seriously trying to deny me what I want, Jeremy?" He panted, glaring into Jeremy's eyes that pleaded for Kol to stop.

"No. I don't want this.. Kol.. Move.." Jeremy couldn't even move his hands from Kol's grasp.

"You can beg all you want, Jeremy. But I ain't moving until you're complaint," Kol said, he was about to move in for another kiss until Jeremy turned his head, he raised his brow at Jeremy's exposed neck. "I am a vampire, Jeremy," He murmured against warm skin before licking at the recent wound, he kissed and nipped but he didn't bother to break the skin. If he was going to win through this little spat with Jeremy, he might as well see if he can get a few different types of words from him.

Jeremy squeezed his eyes closed, his body felt warmer than usual and the cold night air couldn't cool him down. Kol's body didn't emit warmth, he was cold, his hands, his lips, his tongue. He clenched his teeth, a whine escaped him and his body tensed at the sound. Kol chuckled and continued softly scraping against his neck, sometimes it felt like Kol's sharp teeth were going to enter his skin, but they never did. Their bodies were mushed together, not hard but soft and a little comfortable.

A groan escaped him this time and he knew why he made that stupid sound. Not out of frustration but out of realization. Kol was jealous. He was jealous. An original vampire, jealous. He couldn't remember a girl named Vanessa. The only thing he remembered was working at the Grill, talking with Kol and everything else was a blur. Kol never showed an interest in him, he was always with him but he figured they were just friends and here he was, trapped against the wall by Kol kissing and lightly biting at his neck.

Kol licked his lips at the sound of Jeremy's soft sigh, he didn't know what that meant. Defeat? Jeremy didn't lose at much unless he was.. pinned against a wall. The thought made Kol laugh again.

"W-What's so funny?" Jeremy turned his head, Kol placed his forehead against Jeremy's again, the veins and his blood red eyes were gone from his features. Now he looked like his cocky ex-best friend again.

"Nothing, darling. Not so resistant anymore, did you think your priorities out or am I too irresistible for you?" His grin widened as Jeremy scoffed.

"This is like sexual assault.. or rape.."

Kol laughed, "You're not resistant anymore. So it's neither.. this is a friendly game of .. shut up-and-let's-go-back-to-my-place."

Jeremy frowned as Kol moved away. He was finally getting used to Kol's body against his, and maybe just a little, he didn't want him to move. Of course he wasn't going to say that out loud, not with Kol's selfish and arrogant personality, it would ruin whatever mood they were both in.

"I'm not going to your place.." Jeremy said, watching as Kol turned around.

"Why not? We established our feelings, why not make it final?" His infuriating grin made Jeremy sigh.

"We didn't establish anything. You got jealous of a girl I can no longer remember, killed her and killed a bunch of vampires and looked to be on the verge of raping me in some alley. I'm not going to your place." Jeremy didn't step back, he didn't want what happened a few seconds ago to occur again.

Kol frowned and walked back towards Jeremy, "The girl you no longer remember is dead and you're a vampire hunter, I did you a favor. I killed a bunch of newborns for you and I wasn't going to 'rape' you. I was establishing your feelings which you are completely denying right now."

"I'm not denying anything," Jeremy said, he clenched his hands into fists, not like fighting an original vampire would help. But Kol was trying to find a loophole with these 'feelings' just so he could get him in his bed tonight. Which isn't going to happen.

"Yes, you are. You enjoyed what I did to you against the wall, you were making these weird girly noises and you obviously wanted more. I could hear your heart speaking for you." Jeremy glared at Kol, his heart right now was steady but it was picking up its pace at the mention of 'weird girly noises'. He clearly recalled him moaning and sighing and making these weird noises and the memory was now an embarrassing one. One he wished to forget.

"Look, mate, you're clearly trying to think up some sort of denial right now, but it ain't going to work. I could either compel you to comply or I could go back to threatening," Kol grinned, but his eyes darkened as if he didn't want to resort to either.

Since he woke up, confused and annoyed by Kol's presence, he hadn't smiled and right at this moment, he couldn't help but do just that. There was something childishly annoying about how Kol was dealing with the situation. "That would be rape again.. Kol. I don't want to-"

Kol nodded, "Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to come back with me.. Are you sure? My bed is comfy. At least I think it is.. I got a new one today." Kol grimaced, "Don't ask what happened to the last one."

Jeremy shook his head, "I don't even want too know. I mean.. Your siblings are there right.. wouldn't it be awkward."

Kol raised his brow, taking a few careful steps closer to Jeremy, he could hear his steady heart picking up and watched as Jeremy avoided eye contact. A triumphant but hopeful grin lifted upon Kol's lips. "All this time I thought it was me, but it was actually my siblings," He shook his head and sighed, "I should listen more.." He mumbled to himself.

Jeremy looked up at Kol, "I'm not denying anything, but going to your place." Without thinking, Jeremy grabbed Kol's arm and pulled him against his body and reached for his lips which Kol took full control on. He wrapped his arms around Jeremy, pulling him tightly against his body, enjoying the way Jeremy opened his mouth, finally a reaction to an overly wanton mate. Kol lapped up Jeremy's mouth, tasting and smoothing against his warm tongue.

Kol pulled back, both panting against each other. "Where do you want to head too and please for god sakes.. not a hotel.. I ain't a fling for you Gilbert."

Jeremy chuckled, "I'd say the Boarding house but you never know.. Elena, Damon and Stefan could be there." Kol frowned, he didn't like the sound of seeing those three, but he didn't mind the thought of making them listen to him fuck Jeremy Gilbert in one of their beds.

"Alright, Jer, let's go." Kol moved away and took Jeremy's hand and pulled him down the alley.

"You really want to go to the Boarding House?" Jeremy asked, suspicious of Kol's enthusiasm.

Kol shrugged, "We can go back to the alley and I can screw you against the wall or we can go to the Grill. Should be closed by now. We can dance along the tables," Kol said, he was being sarcastic while he dragged Jeremy down the street, the bodies of the newborn vampires should be burned to a crisp, the sounds of the cops are still alert down that area and since they weren't going to either the alley nor the Grill.

"This was your way of being jealous?," Jeremy muttered under his breath and all Kol did was grin darkly. Since that moment Jeremy ignored him at the Grill, staring at the pretty brunette whom Kol could have any time, instead she decided to 'try' and make him jealous by going for Jeremy. Such a foul annoyance, she just didn't know that Kol wasn't interested in her and at that very moment, Kol wanted to kill her for using Jeremy as a tool.

He's not a tool. He's not. He's his and always will be. And he'll make sure of it by tonight.

a/n: The moment I saw Kol and Jeremy together as friends on TVD, I shipped it. Even though their friendship was one-sided during their time in Denver. I kind of felt bad for Jeremy because of Kol and Klaus' manipulation. It would be cool if they were friends since Kol doesn't seem to have any besides a bunch of witches. (I did ship Kol and Bonnie, and Davina in The Originals, it looks like Kol will have a redeeming factor with Davina. Maybe, I'm just speculating.)

Yeah, oh wells. I'm not great on writing smut or lemons and such. It's the reason why this chapter kinda sucked.

I really want to see how Kol was with Jeremy in Denver, but we all don't get what we want. :(

Also, this is slightly AU. Jeremy's a Hunter and can't be compelled by vampires nor the Original Vampires, but in my fic. He can get compelled, except Kol doesn't want to do that, so he avoids eye contact with him at times.

Reviews are appreciated. No flames or bashing please.
